Step 1: Season the chicken thighs liberally with pepper on both sides. Heat up a little bit of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, making sure they don't over lap. Brown for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Step 2: To make the sauce, combine the water, soy sauce, honey, garlic and and season with lots of pepper. Mix well. After the thighs have browned on each side, add the sauce. Let cook for 5 minutes.

Step 3:
In a large casserole dish, transfer the chicken thighs and then pour the
sauce, covering all the chicken. Cover and cook at 350F, for 30-35
minutes.
